Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with iron is "בַּרְזֶל" (barzel), Strong's Hebrew 1270, which appears in various Old Testament passages such as Deuteronomy 4:20 and 1 Kings 6:7. Usage: The term "σίδηρος" refers to iron, a common metal known for its strength and durability. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe strength, firmness, and sometimes oppression or bondage, as iron was a material used for chains and fetters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, iron was a valuable resource used for making tools, weapons, and various implements. Its strength and durability made it a symbol of power and resilience. The process of smelting and working with iron was well-developed by the time of the New Testament, and iron was a common material in Roman military equipment and infrastructure.
